I got a 9 year old video with 20M views of a old man giving life advise in my recommened over en over again. After so many days of having this video glued in place in my recomended I watched it. The commends are all very recent and all talking about why Youtube recommened this video.

Who is this guy, did he hack the Youtube algorithm?

log files only took up 800MB, but I fixed most of the problems now, by setting up pacman to put the cache in the home partition.

You are right, it was better to leave /home in the same partition, but now it is difficult to chance that. I thought it had advantages when something goes wrong with my root i can swap it out, but it only caused problems for me. Why do so many people split up there /home then? I thought it was common practice.

Yes, this did work! Thanks for your help!

To be clear, I have a home partition with over 300GB of free space left. Is there maybe a way to specify packages to be installed in my home partition instead of my root?

This realy helped my out. /var/cache/pacman took up over 5GB of space in my root partition. To prevent this from happening again, is there a way to move pacman cache to my home partition where I have over 300GB of space for pacman to consume?

Thanks! This realy helped me out. Saved 1GB on my root.

When I install things with pacman, is it storing files in the root partition? If so, can I specify installations to install inside the home partition?

 

After installing pacman packages (last one was 'ungoogled-chromium') my root partition of 20GB is completly full. Now I can't update new packages.

My partition structure is: root (20GB) /home (470GB) swap (10GB)

How can I delete the garbage that is piling up in my root, and how to prevent it from happening again.

Also take a look at the Pixel 8. In my opinion the 300 euro premium for the 8 pro is not worth:

  • 12GB ram instead of 8
  • A temperature sensor
  • Telelens

If you realy prefer a bigger phone, go for it. But I think the Pixel 8 is a better deal if you want to go for a custom rom like GrapheneOS, because you mostly pay for extra software features with the pro, that you can't use with a custom rom.

Darknet Diaries is nothing like every other podcast I've ever listened to. Listened to every episode 2-3x. It's a podcast mostly about social engineering, hacking and cyber security.

Start with episode:

  • 92: The Pirate Bay
  • 116: Mad Dog
  • 102: Money Maker

Battery life doesn't matter on the Fairphone 5 when you can swap the battery in seconds.
